The next morning, Jessica was at the kitchen, cooking breakfast and when she turned she saw Morgan leaned against the entrance to the kitchen and flipping an apple in his hands.“You know at this point we can’t control her,” he said then pushed his back off the door and walked toward Jessica. “The only option now is to restrain her entire movement, our secrets are at grave danger.”Jessica sighed, but then she smiled. “Why are you so disturbed? I’ve told you everything will be fine.”Morgan dashed his hand forward and grabbed Jessica by the neck before speaking. “It’s not about being disturbing, the situation here is that I don’t want to ever return back to that prison, you well know how I had gotten out, and how it will be so easy for me to go back. I have changed my identity, even did surgery to alter my appearance, and have stayed in the shadows for long just to be in peace, so I won’t let anything shatter that freedom I now have.”Jessica was already trembling, Morgan was getting

He was putting on short pyjama trousers and a T‑shirt, and from where she could see him, he was using a knife to slice some fruit he had arranged in a bowl.His hair looked coily, and with the view before her, he matched perfectly well with the luxury all around him.“Could that be James, the man that bought my company? Wow, finally, after months of not seeing him to make my move, I have finally gotten to be one‑on‑one with him,” Clara smiled as the devilish thought crossed her mind.She lowered her hands to her servant dress, which was below her knees. She adjusted it to her laps so she could look catching to the eye.She did that so fast that when he turned, he wouldn’t notice what she had done.Soon, the man she had been gazing at for a while turned, and in that moment, her heart sank. It was no other than Lucas. She was so disappointed that she felt like crushing something, and at this moment, her skirt was raised up to her laps.Lucas gazed at her. He stepped forward holding wine

Clara’s seat was available, she went over and sat, and at the other side of the table was Lucas staring. He looked calm, and when her gaze caught sight of him, she flinched a bit but steadied herself in that instant.“He’s also here?”She murmured in silence to herself as she stared. Additionally, this had also been her first time seeing Lucas in the same dining room as the servants, though he appeared in the casual uniform often worn by servants, which had also given her a little hope that indeed he was just a servant and nothing special for her to be bothered about.Their gaze locked on each other, and Lucas could only sneer tauntingly. Clara felt intense rage, not only did she see him in such a luxury room in the mansion, but he had also looked down on her with scornful gaze that anytime she remembered about it, she felt her cheeks burning.Leonardo, the chef, stood, looking short among all the servants seated in both rows, with a long table stretched in their middle, filled with a

Not long after, the door pushed open again, and two guards walked inside the room, looking furious and unfriendly. The moment Clara saw them, She already knew what was going on, but this time she doesn’t know what the penalty will be. She had once faced starvation, she had also been locked outside to sleep at the entrance of her door, and some other few minor things.“Ma’am, you are to respect yourself and come with us...” One of the guards spoke in a deep tone.Lucia was just beside them. She was sneering at Clara.The guards walked forward and took Clara by the shoulders, and just before she could pass Lucia, Lucia spoke. “Hold, guards.”And both guards paused on their steps, forcing Clara to stop as wellLucia then moved closer to Clara then continued. “That’s what you will face anytime you disobey my orders, I don’t care who you were, or what you have achieved.”And just then while Lucia was speaking, Clara spit on Lucia’s face.Lucia stiffened with shock.“Maybe you should lick

And just then it was six and the bell sounded, before her door pushed open, and in front of it was Lucia standing firm on the ground with a sneer carved on her lips.“How was the sweet aroma of the dungeon?”The sneer on her face was so taunting that if it was before Clara could have lashed out but surprisingly Clara smiled back and replied friendly. “It was nice, I guess you are here to remind me about my duty right?”Lucia smiled.“Exactly, it looks like you have understood your lesson, for the...” Lucia used her pinkie finger and hovered it around her cheek as though calculating and when she was done she continued. “For the fifteenth time.”Though that was the exact number of times Clara had faced punishment, and the last one which made it the fifteenth time, was the dungeon punishment.Clara only smiled when Lucia spoke she feared that anything she said will turn into another punishment which she wasn’t ready to accommodate.Lucia stepped a little bit forward, she then took a deep
